To assure professional and commercial integrity in such matters, Cleveland Clinic maintains a program that reviews these collaborations and, when appropriate, puts measures in place to minimize bias that may result from ties to industry. Cleveland Clinic publicly discloses the names of companies when (i) its physicians/scientists receive $5,000 or more per year (or, in rare cases, equity or stock options) for speaking and consulting, (ii) its physicians/scientists serve as a fiduciary, (iii) its physicians/scientists receive or have the right to receive royalties or (iv) its physicians/ scientists hold any equity interest for the physician's/scientist's role as inventor, discoverer, developer, founder or consultant.* In publicly disclosing this information, Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.

Wait time - upon arrival was long - but everything was very efficient once I was brought back to the exam room. I find going directly to the doctors office is generally great - if you go through general scheduling for an appointment the process Is slow. You need more appointment specialists

She was great! She listened to my concerns. I felt like she actually felt my pain and saw how much pain I was in and was gents she could be. When she was draining my knee and saw how much pain I was in she stopped the procedure and even apologized. She showed me my X-rays and explained what exactly I was looking at.
